This trial is for English-speaking patients scheduled for primary ACL reconstruction surgery at Mayo Clinic Arizona. It's not open to medical professionals, those with multi-ligament knee injuries, sensory impairments, or a history of ACL surgery.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways of educating patients about their upcoming ACL surgery: one uses videos and the other uses classroom instruction. The goal is to see which method leads to better patient satisfaction and surgical outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
